41Green's function — In mathematics, Green s function is a type of function used to solve inhomogeneous differential equations subject to boundary conditions. The term is used in physics, specifically in quantum field theory and statistical field theory, to refer to… …
42Partition function (statistical mechanics) — For other uses, see Partition function (disambiguation). Partition function describe the statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is a function of temperature and other parameters, such as the volume enclosing a gas.… …
43Inline function — In computer science, an inline function is a programming language construct used to suggest to a compiler that a particular function be subjected to in line expansion; that is, it suggests that the compiler insert the complete body of the… …
44Minnaert function — The Minnaert function is a photometric function used to interpret astronomical observations [1][2] and remote sensing data for the Earth [3]. This function expresses the radiance factor (RADF) as a function the phase angle (α) and the photometric …
45Differential of a function — For other uses of differential in mathematics, see differential (mathematics). In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function y = ƒ(x) with respect to changes in the independent variable. The… …
46Gaussian function — In mathematics, a Gaussian function (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss) is a function of the form::f(x) = a e^{ { (x b)^2 over 2 c^2 } }for some real constants a > 0, b , c > 0, and e ≈ 2.718281828 (Euler s number).The graph of a Gaussian is a… …
47Main function — See also: Entry point In many programming languages, the main function is where a program starts execution. It is responsible for the high level organization of the program s functionality, and typically has access to the command arguments given… …
48Main function (programming) — In some programming languages, the main function is where a program starts execution. It is generally the first user written function run when a program starts (some system specific software generally runs before the main function), though some… …
49Auxiliary function — In mathematics, auxiliary functions are an important construction in transcendental number theory. They are functions which appear in most proofs in this area of mathematics and that have specific, desirable properties, such as taking the value… …
50NIST hash function competition — Cryptography portal The NIST hash function competition is an open competition held by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology for a new SHA 3 function to replace the older SHA 1 and SHA 2, which was formally announced in the Federal …
